There’s a New Bird in Town!

We all know how symbolic the Raven and Oriole are to Baltimore, well now there is . . . the Y bird, TROTTER!

Trotter has joined our team to energize and excite Y friends and family across Central Maryland about the Y’s Turkey Trot Charity 5K! Trotter will be making appearances in your community and across the region, so be sure to check him out! He will also be making surprise drop-ins at Y Centers, preschools, camps, and other Y sites and events, so keep an eye out, you never know when Trotter will be spotted lifting weights, joining a Zumba class, or ruffling some feathers at a family fun night!


Not only are we excited for you to meet Trotter, we are excited to announce a contest! You could win a six month, FREE family membership to the Y! That means your family would be able to enjoy any of our eleven Family Center Y locations, which includes access to our pools, group fitness classes and more!
